  • Definition of Chalk
    1.1: Introduction: 1.1.1: Definition of chalk: Chalk is a soft, white, porous sedimentary carbonate rock, a form of limestone composed of the mineral calcite. Calcite is calcium carbonate or CaCO3. It forms under reasonably deep marine conditions from the gradual accumulation of minute calcite shells (coccoliths) shed from micro-organisms called coccolithophores. Flint (a type of chert unique to chalk) is very common as bands parallel to the bedding or as nodules embedded in chalk. It is probably derived from sponge spicules or other siliceous organisms as water is expelled upwards during compaction. Flint is often deposited around larger fossils such as Echinoidea which may be silicified (i.e. replaced molecule by molecule by flint). Chalk as seen in Cretaceous deposits of Western Europe is unusual among sedimentary limestone in the thickness of the beds. Most cliffs of chalk have very few obvious bedding planes unlike most thick sequences of limestone such as the Carboniferous Limestone or the Jurassic oolitic limestones. This presumably indicates very stable conditions over tens of millions of years. Figure (1-1): Calcium sulphate 1 "Nitzana Chalk curves" situated at Western Negev, Israel are chalk deposits formed at the Mesozoic era's Tethys Ocean Chalk has greater resistance to weathering and slumping than the clays with which it is usually associated, thus forming tall steep cliffs where chalk ridges meet the sea. Chalk hills, known as chalk downland, usually form where bands of chalk reach the surface at an angle, so forming a scarp slope. Because chalk is well jointed it can hold a large volume of ground water, providing a natural reservoir that releases water slowly through dry seasons.

  • Report to Planning Committee – 26 January 2017
    REPORT TO PLANNING COMMITTEE – 26 JANUARY 2017 PLANNING APPEALS 1. There were 13 appeals determined between October and December 2016. Two appeals were against non-determination where the Planning Committee had deferred a decision, one appeal against a Planning Committee decision and the remainder against delegated decisions. Five of the appeals were upheld. There were three successful appeals against Committee decision (including the two appeals for non-determination) and two successful appeals against delegated decision. 2. Members have been issued with the full decisions, but in brief the reasons were: 2.1 Red Lion, Canterbury Rd (including listed building app) Members had, following submission of the appeal against non-determination, decided that, had the application come back to Committee, it would have been approved with conditions. Costs have been awarded. 2.2 New Dover Road An application on an allocated site for 40 dwellings. Members refused this application because the proposal was out of character with the surrounding area. The Inspector concluded that the effect on the character of the surrounding area would be limited. Partial costs have been awarded, in relation to a submitted unilateral undertaking that the Council had accepted, but had not informed the Inspectorate and therefore the applicant provided experts to attend the hearing that were not required. 2.3 Brookestreet An application for an extension over a garage. The issue was the effect on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area. The Planning Inspector disagreed. 2.4 Barnsole Road An application for a change of use of a barn to residential dwelling refused under Class Q of the GPDO.

  • Draft Local Plan Proposed Site Allocations - Reasons for Site Selection
    Topic Paper: Draft Local Plan Proposed Site Allocations - Reasons for Site Selection Dover District Local Plan Supporting document The Selection of Site Allocations for the Draft Local Plan This paper provides the background to the selection of the proposed housing, gypsy and traveller and employment site allocations for the Draft Local Plan, and sets out the reasoning behind the selection of specific site options within the District’s Regional, District, Rural Service, Local Centres, Villages and Hamlets. Overarching Growth Strategy As part of the preparation of the Local Plan the Council has identified and appraised a range of growth and spatial options through the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) process: • Growth options - range of potential scales of housing and economic growth that could be planned for; • Spatial options - range of potential locational distributions for the growth options. By appraising the reasonable alternative options the SA provides an assessment of how different options perform in environmental, social and economic terms, which helps inform which option should be taken forward. It should be noted, however, that the SA does not decide which spatial strategy should be adopted. Other factors, such as the views of stakeholders and the public, and other evidence base studies, also help to inform the decision. The SA identified and appraised five reasonable spatial options for growth (i.e. the pattern and extent of growth in different locations): • Spatial Option A: Distributing growth to the District’s suitable and potentially suitable housing and employment site options (informed by the HELAA and Economic Land Review). • Spatial Option B: Distributing growth proportionately amongst the District’s existing settlements based on their population.

  • Chemistry of Chalk and Mgco3, Explored Through the Sport of Weightlifting
    Teacher Notes: Chemistry of chalk and MgCO3, explored through the sport of weightlifting Sport: Weightlifting Age group: 11 - 14 These notes are designed as a guide on how to lead the session, and are written in a script format. If you wish to lead the session in a different way please feel free to do so. The red text indicates what each slide includes, while the blue text highlights the key points being discussed in each slide. The owl symbol demonstrates where students are required to perform a task (eg questions, experiment, etc.). These are used to help you observe the students learning and recap any information which the students have found difficult to understand. Depending on the level of student understanding this module may require two lessons to complete. Slide 1 Opening slide The first slide provides the title of the session and a picture of a weightlifter dusting chalk containing title of off his hands, introducing the topic and drawing a visual picture of the link between the session and background sport and chemistry. picture as a visual introduction. Slides 2 & 5 – Introduction – Weightlifting and the link to chemistry Weightlifting, the sport of lifting weights in a variety of ways to a variety of different positions, has routes back to ancient times, with the lifting of heavy stones to determine a person’s strength. This has continued through the ages and in many strongman contests today heavy stones are lifted, or attempted to be lifted. Slide 2 gives a small amount of Weightlifting as we know of it today started in Germany in the mid-1800s and quickly background to spread through the rest of Continental Europe.

  • Researches and Discoveries in Kent 1915-1919
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 153 ) RESEARCHES AND DISCOVERIES IN KENT. 1915—1919. GREENWICH. It may be interesting to know that Mr. Reginald Wood- ham of Catford, the Contractor, recently told me that some time back, when his firm was laying a sewer in Park Street, Greenwich, his men broke into some old vaults or graves about halfway between the river and the Woolwich Road. The vaults were four in number, about 7 feet by 4 feet and 5 feet high. The sewer was filled in as soon as possible, lest the news should get about and the work be delayed at the contractor's expense. Mr. Woodham tells me he has frequently had to cut into and across the Roman roads in the district. L. M. BIDBN. 8 January 1919. SANDWICH DISTRICT. PARAMOR GRANGKE, NEAR ASH.—Some mural paintings were found on the walls of a room in this house, and have been seen by the President, Lord Northbourne, and the Hon. Secretary, Mr. Cooke, and reported on by them. OLD ARCHES AT SANDWICH.—On pulling down a house which stands between the Pillory Gate and the Barbican, on the river side of Strand Street, Sandwich, some pointed arches and part of an old wall were exposed under the party- wall of the next house, No. 14. It is possible that these arches formed part of a building called the King's Castle (not the King's Castle outside the town). They were inspected by the President and Mr.

  • Landscape Assessment of Kent 2004
    CHILHAM: STOUR VALLEY Location map: CHILHAMCHARACTER AREA DESCRIPTION North of Bilting, the Stour Valley becomes increasingly enclosed. The rolling sides of the valley support large arable fields in the east, while sweeps of parkland belonging to Godmersham Park and Chilham Castle cover most of the western slopes. On either side of the valley, dense woodland dominate the skyline and a number of substantial shaws and plantations on the lower slopes reflect the importance of game cover in this area. On the valley bottom, the river is picked out in places by waterside alders and occasional willows. The railway line is obscured for much of its length by trees. STOUR VALLEY Chilham lies within the larger character area of the Stour Valley within the Kent Downs AONB. The Great Stour is the most easterly of the three rivers cutting through the Downs. Like the Darent and the Medway, it too provided an early access route into the heart of Kent and formed an ancient focus for settlement. Today the Stour Valley is highly valued for the quality of its landscape, especially by the considerable numbers of walkers who follow the Stour Valley Walk or the North Downs Way National Trail. Despite its proximity to both Canterbury and Ashford, the Stour Valley retains a strong rural identity. Enclosed by steep scarps on both sides, with dense woodlands on the upper slopes, the valley is dominated by intensively farmed arable fields interspersed by broad sweeps of mature parkland. Unusually, there are no electricity pylons cluttering the views across the valley. North of Bilting, the river flows through a narrow, pastoral floodplain, dotted with trees such as willow and alder and drained by small ditches.

  • 08 Feb 2021 Eindrucksvolle Wahrzeichen an Englands Küste
    Eindrucksvolle Wahrzeichen an Englands Küste Leuchttürme faszinieren. Sie sind romantisch schön, symbolisieren Weite und Freiheit, sind Landmarken für Schiffe, geben Orientierung und weisen den Weg. Wer sich aus der aktuellen Situation schon einmal „wegträumen“ möchte, wird an Englands Küste leicht fündig und kann interessante Wanderungen häufig von Turm zu Turm planen. „Weit über 60 Leuchttürme reihen sich, einer Perlenschnur gleich, entlang der reizvollen und abwechslungsreichen Küste, viele von ihnen sind der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich“, sagt Samantha Richardson, Direktorin der National Coastal Tourism Academy, die das Projekt „England’s Coast“ leitet. „Die Türme stehen abseits üblicher Touristenpfade, eignen sich wunderbar als Fotomotive und in einigen kann man sogar übernachten – weit weg vom Alltag und inmitten traumhaft einsamer Küstenlandschaften. Und sobald die Einschränkungen es zulassen, machen sie eine Reise an die Küste zu einem magischen Besuch“, so Richardson. England’s Coast ist ein Zusammenschluss aller acht ​ ​ ​ englischen Küstenregionen, die mit dem Projekt ihre Kultur, sagenreiche Geschichte und malerischen Küstenlandschaften vermarkten. Auf Flamborough Head, einer Halbinsel zwischen den Buchten Filey und Bridlington in ​ ​ der Grafschaft Yorkshire, stehen gleich zwei Leuchttürme. Der unter Denkmalschutz stehende Kreideturm aus dem Jahr 1669 ist einer der ältesten vollständig erhaltenen Leuchttürme Englands. Unweit hiervon wurde 1806 ein zweiter Turm erbaut. An den unter Naturschutz stehenden Klippen nisten rund um die Türme über 200.000 Seevögel, darunter Basstölpel und Papageientaucher. Der älteste Leuchtturm des Landes und einer der ältesten der Welt steht auf dem Gelände von Dover Castle. Der Turm wurde um das Jahr 43 n. Chr. von den Römern erbaut, als Navigationshilfe zur Überquerung des Ärmelkanals. Die gut erhaltene Ruine ist ein schönes Fotomotiv und steht direkt neben der kleinen Kirche St.

  • Educator Materials (PDF)
    Written in Chalk Phenomenal Image Educator Materials HOW TO USE THIS RESOURCE The images for this resource, showing the chalk cliffs of Dover, England, and the microscopic skeletons of coccolithophore algae, can serve as an anchoring phenomenon to explore the key concepts described below. The pedagogical practice of using phenomena to provide a context for understanding science concepts and topics is an implementation practice supported by the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Phenomena are observable occurrences that students can use to generate science questions for further investigation or to design solutions to problems that drive learning. In this way, phenomena connect learning with what is happening in the world while providing students with the opportunity to apply knowledge while they are building it. The “Implementation Suggestions” and “Teaching Tips” sections provide options for incorporating the images into a curriculum or unit of study and can be modified to use as a standalone activity or to supplement an existing lesson. The student handout includes reproductions of the images and the “Background Information” section. KEY CONCEPTS A. Environmental factors such as topography, temperature, and ocean pH can determine the ability of microscopic algae to survive and reproduce over the geologic timescale. B. Specific biological processes, geologic internal processes (tectonic uplift), and surface processes (weathering and erosion) are causal agents in building up and wearing down the Cliffs of Dover over time. C. The geologic record found in the chalk cliffs of Dover can help predict the future effects of climate change on the chemical composition (e.g., ocean pH) and biodiversity of the oceans.
